Hi all, here is another IFE related question.

Flying LGW to BVC on the 29th Feb on a Boeing 757-200, as you are aware its 6 hours+, we are aware that this is classed as short/Med haul and therefore no IFE, apart from the safety video I presume....Does the no IFE include no radio/music as well as no visual programs.
Are the PSP's plentiful and how much are they to hire as I couldn't see any mention on the Web site

Regards

Joe

joe3400,

You can't really class the safety video as IFE, although it is quite funny! IFE means no IFE, video or audio. All the information with regards to the PSP's is in Thomsons inflight magazine (page 12). The link is on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Re: flights to sharm el sheikh

Have just returned from our 3rd trip to Sharm with Thomson. On previous occasions the plane has had a reasonable seating pitch, however on this flight - a 757-200 the seating pitch was a disgrace for an over 5 hour journey.For a journey of a couple of hours it would be bad enough. Does anyone know if it worth complaining to Thomson

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks as always Dazbo,
Yes, classing the safety video as part of in flight entertainment was tongue in cheek so to speak and I admit it is an amusing way to grab your attention, All information that that I asked for was found within the link, so thanks for that, I think I'll take my own entertainment, it a shame that the 757-200s don't have a usb connector, so as to keep my phone (in flight mode) charged.

That's your decision really if you didn't feel you had adequate comfort for your trip. I take it you had an aircraft with the slimline Recaro (blue) seats outbound and the standard (green) seats inbound? Even though the seat pitch is the same 28 inches, the slimline design and placement of the seat pocket makes a difference on medium haul flights. The airline meets and excedes the legal minimum seat pitch for the length of flight.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks for the quick reply Darren! Glad the outbounds an A321. Get to go on it before they get rid of them both at the end of the season!

Hello Holidaytruths.

RE- TOM 196/7 25/04/12 MANCHESTER/CANCUN.

According to the Thomson online seating extras which we booked today, we are flying on a B767 2-3-2 configuration to Cancun from Manchester,does this mean its an EX First Choice type or one of the ex Thomsonfly jets ?

Ex-FCA. All the details are on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks for the reply.

It seems our party have the same row as your party did on its trip to Orlando ( Row 19 ).

Btw way,where does our plane depart from into Manchester before becoming TOM 196/7 to Cancun ?

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Mustafaholiday,

On the V2 aircraft, row 19 is pretty good as the over-wing exit row is behind so you can recline your seat as much as you like and it won't impact on those behind. I'm having a change and sitting in rows 29/30 in March. I did want row 16 but that was taken :cry

The aircraft operating MAN-CUN-MAN (TOM196/7) operates MAN-Punta Cana-MAN (TOM166/7) prior normally.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks again.

Sorry to be a pain but, when will we know if its a 'V2' ??? type of jet ??

On the online Thomson seat booking it looked like there were only 40 rows of seats, if thats any help ??

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Mustafaholiday,

There are two seating configurations onboard the ex-FCA Boeing 767's. V1 and V2. The 'V' is for version. It's the same aircraft, they are just configured slightly different. One aircraft is in the V1 configuration and five are in the V2. All the details are on our What Aircraft? guide where the two seat plans are linked to. They are essentially the same apart from the location of the over-wing exit row in the economy section and a slight difference in the premium cabin.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

buzzer14,

They have recline as far as I know. There's a bulkhead behind but it's full recline as far as I know. I've not in every seat! Click on your user name to the left to list all your previous posts.

Who is going and when in 2012?

Hi, I've no idea what I'm doing with posting etc I've never done it before and have just joined. We are going to Turkey on flight TOM752 on 5 may 2012 with first choice. I'm trying to find out what plane it will be to book the seats with good leg room. All I can find is that it will be a Boeing 757-200 but it could be version 1 or 2, or even a Boeing 767-300. Does anyone know what plane they use and where the best seats are please?
